Change the way you think about automobile safety with The First Years True Fit I Alert — a revolutionary mobile-synched car seat designed to recognize potentially unsafe conditions and alert parents on their smartphone. Seamlessly built into The First Years True Fit Convertible Car Seat, the I Alert system monitors children in the seat with an easy-to-use mobile application that:

Assists in achieving the correct angle position when installing the seat in rear-facing position

Reminds you to check the car seat buckle

Alerts you if your child is out of their car seat while you are driving

Alerts you if your child is left unattended in their car seat

Constantly monitors the ambient temperature in the car

Allows you to set up emergency contacts

Quick and Easy Setup

The monitoring system works with most smartphones (IOS and Android) in the market today. After a quick download, you can personalize the I Alert app with your childrens’ photos, set up emergency contacts and register your seat for safety alerts.

Before you begin using your new car seat, please be sure to thoroughly read the provided installation instructions in combination with your automobile owner’s manual.

Safety Alerts to Your Phone, Instantly

We all get distracted now and then, so once you have installed I Alert and your child is comfortably seated in the car, you’ll receive a message to remind you to buckle them in. This alert will appear each time you seat your child.

I Alert constantly monitors the ambient temperature in the back seat. Temperatures in the back seat are not as well controlled as the front seat due to dashboard positioning, so your child may not be nearly as comfortable as you are. The temperature inside a car can rise 20 degrees in just 20 minutes, which means a caregiver’s quick trip inside the grocery store, bank or gas station could quickly lead to a potentially unsafe situation.

If a child is unintentionally left unattended in the car, an alert will be sent to your phone. If the situation continues, additional alerts will be sent via email and/or text to the contacts you’ve selected during setup and registration of the I Alert software. These alerts will let others know that a child may have unintentionally been left in their car seat.

A Monitoring System that Grows With Your Child

As children grow and begin to explore more, I Alert keeps them safe by sending you movement notifications. If for some reason a child is able to move out of their seat while the vehicle is in motion, an alert will sound on your mobile device. This will be your notification to pull over and re-secure the child in their car seat. And because your safety is equally important, I Alert’s notifications have both audible and visible options, so you won’t be distracted while driving.

Designed for Outstanding Safety and Comfort

The IAlert’s Advanced Side Impact Technology has been tested to international side impact standards. Our energy absorbing foam and contour design helps to reduce impact forces that may occur in the unlikely event of a crash, while providing a comfortable seat for everyday use. The deep seat means your child fits in the seat as they grow, keeping them secure and comfortable longer. For added convenience, a removable, washable cup holder will hold your child’s sippy cup on the go.

Easy-to-Adjust Harness

This seat features our standard no re-thread, easy-to-adjust harness. Keeping your child rear-facing longer is easy: the harness is for use from 5 to 35 pounds rear facing and up to 65 pounds in forward facing installations.

If you've ever tried to re-thread a harness on a car seat, you know how difficult it can be. The IAlert is hassle free, as the harness adjusts simply by moving the side adjusters. Each is clearly labeled to help you determine the correct positioning as your child grows.

Rebound Energy Management Technology Keeps Your Child Safe

I Alert features smaller bottom rails and the patented Rebound Energy Management system--a flip up rebound bar that actually helps manage the rebound in the unlikely event of a crash. Simply pull the bar forward and it snaps in place with your rear facing installation. Flip it back with you to move to the forward facing installation. Rebound is the movement that may occur during a crash, the rebound bar assists in stabilizing the rotational forces associated with a crash.

Removable headrest for better rear-facing installation, can be used rear-facing installation, can be used rear-facing with headrest for infants up to 35 pounds.

Love the seat for the seat not the ialert

March 20, 2015

I already owned a older First Years Premier Fit seat. Like that seat, this C685 True Fit is a very comfortable seat. Plush cushions with multiple recline settings... These are the seats you want to take on road trips because they are so comfortable, my babies sleep harder in these than our Eddie Bauer convertible, Baby Trend infant seat and Graco convertible seats (no head bobbing!). In my vehicle the head rest is removed to accommodate a rear facing position and installed when I'm ready to have the kiddo face forward when her height/weight allows (sometime around 18 mos).
Like other reviewers I did have major issues trying to connect the ialert system.... Note: you must remove it from the seat and charge it before connecting, but we still couldn't keep a good connection. But i didn't buy it for the ialert so no tears were shed, just scrapped that idea and installed seat in the car.
Would I recommend????- YES definitely (and I have to many friends) but don't buy based only on the ialert. Its a 5 star seat, but since the ialert stinks i deducted a star.

Pros:

most comfortable seat ever and kids prefer over other seats.

Cons:

ialert is flaky

Just what we wanted

February 11, 2015

We have a two year old First Years True Fut Premier and love it. Safe, super user friendly. Now that our second kiddo needs a new car seat, I really wanted to get the same one but first years isn't making them anymore. So glad to find one still hanging around here! (Even if it has all that i-nonsense we don't care about) And we paid nearly twice as much for the first one with shipping!
